Confirm, same thing on Ubuntu 12.04.

Ubuntu 12.04 Radeon 3200
Solution:
export LANG=C
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. ./hl_linux -game valve
workaround:
in terminal run:
strangeman@strangepc:~$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
strangeman@strangepc:~$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
strangeman@strangepc:~$ steam
It helps for me.
Same problem here, Ubuntu 12.10 64bit, GeForce. Czech locales
strangeman: Thanks, I can start HL in following way and working as expected!
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. ./hl_linux -game valve
Adding myself to the list.
'fix' does not work for me :-(
what does work for me though is a gentle 'restart' in the game console
edit: seems i lost my hazard suit via 'restart', so be sure to have a savegame if you try
I had the same problem. Interesting: looks like the bug makes the game act like there is the beginning of Anomalous Material chapter (game saves read so, and playtime counter drops to zero).
Anyway, ZeXx86 solution worked for me. It's just need to be executed in the game folder, ./Steam/SteamApps/common/Half-Life/
One line workaround:
LANG=C steam
With the locales set to my own language, I'm seeing a bunch of spam consisting of "Firing: (game over)" in the console with dev mode and a bunch of other verbose settings for the console.
A workaround has been pushed to Steam depots. HL automatically uses en_US or C locales on startup. Now we wait for a proper fix.
For me is fixed now with last hl1 update!
the en_US was the proper fix, so I am clsoing this.
SteelR, yep, the workaround basically forces aforementioned locale fix.
Still, forcing en_US or C is merely a workaround. Moreover, I'm getting this popup on every start since I only have ru_RU.UTF-8 locale.
alfred, this problem is not fixed but worked around. Something is still wrong with locale support in HL.
All works after latest update, thanks!
